Girl's ride through Yellowstone

Erin (supre fi') and I riding though Yellowstone! I love and look up to this woman more than word could ever express! Do you have a friend that you think of when you have a tough choice to make and think, "What would they do?" She is that to me. She is phenomenally talented and yet the most humble Christ like person I know! Another friend once said about her- I think she walks next to God and she's only here to help us! It's really true! I was so glad she could make it on this ride with us.

Beautiful Fire Hole falls. We took all the scenic excursions on this ride and took our time to take pictures. It was awesome seeing Yellowstone like this in the fall. I think this is the most beautiful ride in the world. Who want's to do with us next year?

Old Faithful

On our way home we took the scenic excursion to Mesa Falls.

Great friends!

Kelly and I taking a picture of each other, I'm sure hers turned out better!

Great way to spend a weekend with some really awesome friends!

Aren't they beautiful?

Best of all this is what I came home to...Love

The rest of September I don't want to forget...

My awesome friend Abby read my blog and realized I could use some help! So she offered to take my kids for an afternoon. Charlie Loved playing outside with Max's trucks. It was amazing what 3 hours of me time can accomplish! I finished up some work for Udder Ointment and realized how hard it actually is to work with your kids around 24/7. I need to give myself a little more credit for my juggleing act! Working 30-40 hours with your kids always there is really hard! Doing it with never having a break is even harder! I'm so grateful for great friends like Abby and Ester who literally saved my sanity in September! I really couldn't have made it through this month without you! Thanks!

Another Sanity saver was training to ride through Yellowstone. I was nervous about my lack of time I had to train. No one was here so I couldn't sneak in my early morning ride anymore, so Charlie and I started taking advantage of Xadi's preschool time. We'd ride MWF afternoon from 12-2:30. With my "100 LB training bike" it was enough training. When I got back on my street bike for the ride I felt like I could fly!

Charlie's favorite thing to do this month! Much to my dismay! I finally turned my desk so I could do my work and keep an constant eye on the little stinker!

Xadi's first day of dance class- year 3! Where does the time go?

We dog-sat the dog across the street- Baby! Xadi's in Love!

She gave her "other" blankie and read her stories so she wouldn't be sad.

My other biking partner Alisa! With her wicked witch of the west cruiser and my 1990 mountain bike with Charlie in tow we were quite the riding team. I tried to convienve her to love it and well she did a great job placating me....
